I feed netview snmpcollect'd data into rrd files & use www.cacti.net as the
front end - all open source (it's one of the many similars to mrtg, but has
a nice web gui & uses templates to help with setup).

Ok, it's a bit more work but it looks nice.  Of course cacti can do the data
collection itself, but it's not always possible to allow it to do this. The
snmp manager (netview) on the other hand is generally allowed & able to do
it.
TEDW is normally too heavy & the sample interval is way too long.

How I wish!  I tell people that the web console is really no good for
performance data, either real-time or historical.
Anyone else??

Cheers,
